Passenger Trains > Meteor, Cal Zephyr, Lake Shore late departures

The southbound Meteor departed Penn Station 44 minutes late. As of 4:45 pm ET
the Lake Shore Limited is not listed as having departed and no suggested departure
time is available. The California Zephyr departed Chicago today 1:35 late.

The Lake Shore finally departed Penn Station some 93 minutes late at 5:33 pm.
Trainn 449 from Boston arrived Albany 13 mins. early. So passengers from that
train had to wait about 3 hours to board the Lake Shore from Penn Station.
Train 49 left Albany 8:40 pm, 1 hr, 35 mins late. The eastbound Lake Shore
departed Chicago tonight 1 hr, 03 mins. late.

Meteor and Lake Shore left late on Tuesday, Feb 6th as well. I am sure the cold weather has something to do with it, but I give little reprieve these days, as Sunnyside, operationally, now has the longest layover time to service the long distance equipment as a result of schedule changes, which also affected equipment utilization - and largely to facilitate inadequacy at Sunnyside.
